2012 Internship

HEY SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA! I am looking for one or two awesome people to work with me behind the scenes of my wedding photography business! You will be working with me about five hours a week, either in the East Bay (Berkeley or Oakland) or sometimes remotely. The internship is unpaid, but you will gain experience and training in return!

IDEALLY, YOU…

  • Can commit to working 3-5 hours/week for the next six months.
  • Are an aspiring photographer with serious interest in working as a photographer either part-time or full-time.
  • Have some understanding of dSLR photography and own your own dSLR.
  • Have not photographed more than two weddings as the primary photographer.
  • Are computer-savvy and fluent with social media (twitter, facebook, blogging).
  • Live in the San Francisco Bay Area and are able to travel to the East Bay once a week.
  • Are reliable and professional. You are on time and never cancel on your commitments.

THINGS YOU’LL PROBABLY BE DOING:

  • Meeting with me once a week in the East Bay (Berkeley or Oakland).
  • Image Editing: learning how to cull down to the best work, learning some lightroom/photoshop skills, and learning to manage a workflow that works!
  • Client Interaction: managing new client inquiries, delivering galleries and products to existing clients.
  • Marketing & Advertising: assisting with marketing campaigns, creating and submissions for publication, and leveraging social media in the best way
  • Assisting at shoots when available– mainly assisting with lighting and gear. This is NOT a second shooter position, but you may be allowed to take photos for personal portfolio use when there is time.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN:

  • One-on-one workshops and consultations with Anna– we can cover anything from camera technique to business development
  • Constant feedback on your images and portfolio
  • Behind-the-scenes view of my business– emails, client contacts, shooting, post-processing, and more
  • Access to my overflow photography inquiries
  • An ally and a friend
  • The adventure of learning with me as I learn!
